* @param data Sequence of any type of data object. Its contents will be loaded entirely into memory.
* This function does not support any sort of streaming output.
* @param formatters Functions which take your data type and produce the contents of a cell in the table. Formatters
* can return any value which will turned toString. `null` will be translated to the empty string.
* @param headers Optional headers to print at the top. Its length must match the number of columns output
* by the formatters.
* @param tableWidth Maximum width of the table. If the largest cell values would push the table width beyond this
* limit, those cells are instead truncated until the table will fit completely into this width.
* If not given, uses value of [columns]
* @param separator Printed as the border between columns. Is accounted for in the table width. Defaults to '|'.
* @param out Where should I send the output, in case you want to go somewhere other than `println`.
* Defaults to `println`.
